How can I filter a p:tree

Question

I built a tree using Primefaces JSF and I need to add a filter, where it update the data of the tree according to what the user typed. Does anyone know if this is possible ? I still can not find a solution.

Answer 1

Primefaces Tree support filters since Primefaces 6.1

<p:tree value="#{treeBasicView.root}" filterBy="#{node}" var="node">
   <p:treeNode>
       <h:outputText value="#{node}" />
    </p:treeNode>
</p:tree>

For older versions, see the other answer.

Answer 2

Before PrimeFaces 6.1 this was not possible IN the tree. On older versions just create an input field outside the tree and update the tree after calling a bean that server side updates the data for the tree based on the value of the input field.
